The Fantasticks

The Fantasticks is the world’s longest‑running musical and the longest‑running legitimate show in any category in American theatre history. The Fantasticks is an exquisitely crafted, primal theatre ritual; a beloved experience that audiences of all ages come together to share again and again. This simple musical fable of a boy, a girl and the pain of growing up is told by eight actors on a bare wooden stage that is as full of theatrical magic as any in American musical theatre history.

This unique work has not only worked its spell in America, but is also adored around the world. At any given moment, there are dozens of productions taking place, some in English, some in a wide variety of foreign tongues.
